Using this studio in sessions · evidence & scope

This is a music-making tool for creative expression and collaborative activities. Formal music therapy involves individualized goals and a therapeutic relationship with an appropriately credentialed music therapist. The prompts here are original activity suggestions, not validated treatment protocols.

Agree on the purpose and who controls the sound. Start at a comfortable volume, offer silence as a choice, and ask what the music means to the person rather than interpreting it for them. Adapt the activity to their preferences, access needs, and your professional scope.

YOUR FIRST FOUR BARS

Make something that feels like you.

  1. Listen. Load a groove and press Play. Master volume starts at 25%.
  2. Change the rhythm. Tap cells to add or remove hits. Each bar has 16 steps. Mute and solo let you listen to layers.
  3. Play an instrument. Choose a track, then tap the seven pads or use A S D F G H J. For drums, each pad has a different strength.
  4. Record your taps. Record pads starts playback and captures your playing onto the nearest step. Tap again to disarm recording. This records the virtual instruments, not your microphone.
  5. Make a melody. Open Edit individual notes to build melodies and chords. Key and Scale change the available notes.
  6. Arrange. Create four-bar sections A–D. Copy a section or repeat a bar, then play the complete arrangement.
  7. Keep it. Export a WAV mix or save an editable project. Reflection writing is excluded unless you check Include reflection.

Original sounds are synthesized here. You can pause, stop, undo, or start again at any point. Nothing plays automatically.
